250 word album review: Jack White – Boarding House Reach
At this point it may be the “cool” thing to do to hate on Jack White. This isn’t that, or at least it isn’t intended to be. His latest solo album just isn’t that interesting of a listen. It’s far … Continue reading
250 word album review: Here’s To The Life! – Surviving Is My Best Revenge
Here’s To The Life! is now fully amped up and doesn’t spare on the energy. This group of 8 songs is among their strongest, the songs are fun and fiery as they continue to be one of the Midwest’s most … Continue reading
250 word album review: The Allovers -Yer Guises
“Yer Guises” is nothing but simple fun. If you’re looking for deep content you probably won’t find it unless you dig really deep. At the surface level The Allovers just take a crunchy guitar lick, play is for two minutes … Continue reading

250 word album review: Middle Western – When Your Demons Are Under Ground and You’ve Got To Dig Them Up
Middle Western is a lesser known band from the Iowa area featuring banjo wielding badass William Elliott Whitmore and key tickler David Zollo as the two headed monster singing songs. The two established singer/songwriters split the duty here with 4 … Continue reading
250 word album review: The Matchsellers – Bluegrastronauts
Bluegrass can be boring. This isn’t across the board but the skeletal structure of the music causes this. The Matchsellers found a way to make what can be a mundane, unflavored genre extremely intriguing. How? Send bluegrass legends into space … Continue reading
Concert Review: Scruffy & The Janitors and The GasTown Lamps at Cafe Acoustic in St. Joseph, MO 3/2/18
This show was a big one. The small town midwest band has really spent 7 years building to this show. Through their releases of the lo-fi debut album “Pino” and the glossy noisemaker “Anglo EP” that came out nearly 3 … Continue reading
